I love Yamaha but check these numbers, for fast sleds it doesn't make a big difference but when fighting gravity it's obvious who the winner would be. I will be hatted now and forever here but Yamaha needs to realize the extra 118lbs must be dealt with. SUMMIT 800 w/ 159" - 478 lbs APEX...

I don't like Polaris but the 166 RMK has 18.5" of travel and I don't care what anyone says, when the bottom drops out beneath you like ruts, super deep and loose powder those extra few inches could mean the difference between getting stuck on the face of the mountian or even rolling all the way...

GT is beautiful but I prefer the RTX, flames look good. What about the VK Pro, now that's a big improvement in looks, the apex mountain looks great too. Nytro is ugly! Why would they keep those ugly round plastic things on the side? I would still ride one, I'm just happy Yami's look nothing like...

Heard those float X's are $3000 cdn a pair. Nice sled.

The water run off is terrible when spring arrives in late April, almost every road in town gets partially washed out and the pot holes are about 8-12 inches deep and you can't avoid them, I guess our culverts and ditches don't have the capacity to drain all of that water to Frobisher Bay so it...

Haha no really I would never BS you guys. We have decks on the back and people aren't able to keep up with shoveling so they leave it all year then around mid May the railings all get ripped off of the houses causing huge damage even some windows break, I'm young so I just shovel about 6 feet of...

So much snow this year, this is going to last until June for sure!

The 136 would be so much nicer and I would have chosen the Attack but the reverse should be optional. 575 lbs? Sorry, I'm just obsessed with this weight thing after owning an '03, man was that thing ever a handful and then some, but still fun on the flats.

Oh, I didn't realize it comes standard with reverse? I really don't like that reverse system, what a waste of money. RTX is the best in my opinion.

For those who ordered the GT, was it for the electric Ohlins rear? I'm looking at the weights and they say the GT is 251 kg or (554 lbs). Where does that extra 15lbs come from when compared to the RTX? Isn't it just the front shock springs at around 6 lbs?

Ordering an RTX soon. Does anyone know if the 539lb claim is accurate or is it just overly hopeful to assume that? I was surprised to learn the Nytro is only 6 lbs lighter than the RTX. I guess that's all a cylinder weighs, I would much rather have the extra 30 hp and buy an aftermarket exhaust...

I am going with the RTX but I wonder about those float shocks in the winter up here, you say worrying about the shocks is crazy but they look a little weak in the torsional rigidity department, I'm just saying that when it's -45 metals start doing weird things like snapping and cracking. I could...

Totally true, when I think of North I think of these guys on sovereignty patrols at Alert, Nunavut 82.0500° N, 62.3167° W , when I think of south I think Montreal or Ottawa (1200nm): CBC - Despite bitter cold, injuries and severe damage to their equipment, a Canadian Forces team has...

I need to send my crankshaft/engine south to have it rebuilt. Does anyone in the Ottawa area know of a good place to have this done? Thanks, :drink:

Started 48th of 48 and finished 12 in CrossCountry race A 320KM (200Mile) XC race through mountains and over rivers etc... I placed 12th out of 48 other two strokes including moded F7's, MXZ 800's, Polaris 800's. My sled is totally stock and it was my first real race so I took it easy. I...

It should start Ski-Dog, I have done it many times before with no block heater. I use high-grade 0W40 fully synthetic oil. I have seal skin parka, boots and gloves and I am always warm on the coldest days. The -100 Baffin boots are the best.

That makes complete sense. If cruising around 40mph @ 6000 rpm you are only increase the rpm 2500 to 8500rpm and now you are travelling at 90 miles per hour which means you will cover more than twice the distance in the same amount of time but the rpm only increased 2500 and the speed more than...

You are totally right MightyWarrior, the turbo would be a much bigger bang for my buck however it's extra weight too. It would be too much power for me since I don't drag race, and holding 130mph for 4 or 5 minutes straight is plenty fast and fun for me. It's tempting but I will just do the...

That is great news, it's nice to know you don't need a $3-$5000 turbo to see significant performance gains. I had always assumed this might be possible with the right mods to help it breath better. I will also make the same mods when rebuilding my sled in the next month. Does that include a...

Does the ECP kit allow any snow to get inside in high wind (blizzard) conditions? I would like to buy the stage II kit but I ride in -40C and leave it outside occasionally in 150 km/h winds. Do I need to worry about the seals on the carbs or snow penetrating the filters? I have heard of others...
